Join Kidical Mass for a slow, easygoing group ride designed for kids of all ages and their families. We’ll explore neighborhoods in and around Chicago on a relaxed route—typically 2–4 miles at a 5–6 mph pace, lasting about an hour with stops along the way. All rides are led by volunteers.

RIDE GUIDELINES:

  • Please wear helmets and ride safely.

  • Children must attend with a parent or guardian participating on a bike.

  • Rides are suitable for children who have progressed beyond training wheels. Younger children are welcome on trail-a-bikes, child trailers and child seats on their parent's bike.
